Orientation Training

After we have received your completed application form, your School on Wheels' Coordinator will be in touch with you to welcome you to the team, walk you through the rest of the process and answer any questions you may have. Your Coordinator will also let you know about the next orientation training dates and schedule a time for you to attend.

Attending a group orientation training session with School on Wheels is part of your application process and will provide you with the rules, policies, tools and techniques you will need in order to become a successful School on Wheels' tutor. Allow 3 to 4 hours for an orientation and please note you can attend an orientation before or after you have completed the Live Scan background check.

School on Wheels has been working with homeless children for 15 years and we have designed this unique orientation and training program for our new volunteer tutors based on our expertise and experience. You will learn about the many challenges homeless children face, the history and mission of School on Wheels, and effective tutoring techniques you can use to help your student succeed in school. Our trained staff will give you the tools you need to tutor and prepare you for what will be a very rewarding volunteer experience.
